Sometimes, I superglue my eyelids…….

I know I’ve been ranting and raving about “margins” and taking the time to create “margins” of 30 minutes or more to give space to create.  So it was in that mindset that I ran across this story (courtesy of Reader’s Digest via David Michalski) and thought – LOOK WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE MARGINS!!!!

“Superglue for artificial nails looks a lot like artificial tears, and sometimes people grab the wrong bottle.  They literally glue their eyelids together, and we have to cut their eyelashes to get them apart.  We probably see that ONCE A MONTH.  Read the label before you put anything in your eye.” – Robert Noeker, MD Professor of ophthalmology at University of Pittsburgh

Now, this is an extreme case, but what would happen if we built margin into our days?  We wouldn’t be rushing around grabbing the wrong bottle(s).  What’s the craziest thing you’ve done in a rush?
